President dismisses 2-day-old Cabinet

Guinea Bissau's President Jose Mario Vaz has dismissed his two-day-old cabinet after the Supreme Court ruled that his appointment of a new Prime Minister was unconstitutional.

President Vaz had earlier last month, removed the country's popular Prime Minister Domingos Simoes Pereira and replaced him with Baciro Dja, plunging the coup-prone nation which has suffered nine coups or attempted coups since 1980, into a political crisis.
